AI workloads and rising rack densities are accelerating changes in data center cooling ❄️

The AFCOM State of the Data Center Report 2026 highlights a clear shift: 36% of data centers have already deployed liquid cooling, and another 28% plan to adopt it within the next 12 to 24 months. Prefabricated cooling modules are also gaining momentum as facilities scale faster than ever.

But here's the key takeaway: airflow management remains foundational. No matter how advanced your cooling infrastructure, inefficient airflow can still add millions in unnecessary energy costs and increase the risk of outages ⚙️

Bypass airflow is one of the most common and costly inefficiencies in the data center ❄️

The AisleLok® Magnetic Under Rack Panel is a simple, economical fix. It seals the gap under your racks to block bypass airflow and exhaust air recirculation, reducing hot spots and improving cooling efficiency.

And installation couldn't be easier. The magnetic application is completely tool-free, prescored for custom height adjustments, and can be installed, removed, or relocated in minutes ⚙️

The result? Improved IT equipment reliability, support for higher supply air temperatures, and reduced cooling unit energy consumption.
